Management of Eisenmenger Syndrome by Cardiac Defect Closure Combined Bilateral Lung Transplantation with Intraoperative Venoarterial ECMO Support
Journal of cardiac surgery(2021)
摘要
Background Optimal surgical treatment for Eisenmenger syndrome in adult congenital heart disease remains in debate. Case report We report a case of a 22-year-old female with Eisenmenger syndrome secondary to ventricular septum defect (VSD), who underwent cardiac defect closure combined with bilateral lung transplantation in our center. The patient had an uncorrected peri-membranous VSD and subsequently developed severe pulmonary hypertension. We patched the defect under cardiopulmonary bypass. Then a sequential bilateral lung transplantation was performed with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. The patient had a good postoperative recovery and remained well at follow-up at 1 year. To conclude, cardiac defect repair combined bilateral lung transplantation may be a feasible option for selected patients with Eisenmenger Syndrome.
